First Hubpages Payment

Finally, after three months of hubbing and fighting off my laziness, I finally reached the minimum payout by the month of April. By April, I earned more than $50 on Hubpages ad program.

I tried to post about one hub a day but I can't keep up with it as there are days that I have work at night too so all the time I have would be to take some sleep so I can be ready for my another night shift job. But still, whenever I have time I would still visit Hubpages, comment back, and stroll around even if I can't hub. Or, I would start a draft and just finish and publish it later on, just for me to at least had something started.

I had slowed down on hubbing for the month of April and this month, May. Last April was because I had done night shift for about two weeks aside from my day job and also because of writers block. I just can't think of what else to write about.

But for the month of May, still the same reason and I would say my laziness got into me when I saw that my traffic went down significantly, and that is getting about 30 to 50 visitors a day from having about almost 500 visitors in a day which had affected my earnings. With the almost 500 visitors, I am earning $1 a day and some lucky days I earn more than that but with the visitors I'm having as of now, I can barely earn .50/day.

Anyway, I decided to go log in to my Paypal account the other night as I was expecting some money coming in from Hubpages, and I was just so happy to see it was there already. With my Paypal having $10 and some cents, now it was $62.97 in total.

There's the $52.71 money from hubbing. Now this inspires me to make more hub and just continue on hubbing!

What did I do with the money?

Since my Paypal balance wasn't enough for the water pump I wanted from Ebay, and it would take few more days before my bank transfer goes through, I had used some of the money to purchased the water pump so I can start our home made bamboo fountain working.

Have you got your first Hubpages payment?

And for the record of my past three months, here's how my earnings went.

And like as I had mentioned in one of my hubs before, I had been a Hubpages member for 2 years but I was inactive and decided to make some hub and give it a try, January of this year. And since I got back to Hubpages 28th of January, the month was almost finish, I only earned .72 cents.

January, 2012: .72 cents

February: $6.15

March: 21.29

April: $24.53

May: 18.37

As tonight while writing this hub, I have $18.37 earnings, so I could say for the month my total earning would be almost $19 as like I said, my traffic had decreased significantly.

It was far for what I am aiming for the month, like reaching the $2 a day, but since I hasn't been active, I'd say this is what I get.

And with hubbing, I would just stick into creating hubs and learn more ways on how to improve Hubpages earnings. There's other hubbers here that serves as inspirations and they share tips and ways they use to improve their Hubpages earning experience.

Whatever the colors of the blooms are; white, yellow, pink, red or blue, I'd say their shaped would be the first thing that people notice about them. Now let's see all those flowers that are in their bell-shape forms!

As the "ber" month had started, some countries are already starting preparing for the coming Holidays such as the Philippines. That is for Christmas and New Year. And for the tradition of attracting good...

A very inspiring story since i am also new in this site , haven't also received any yet but willing to wait.

Congratulations percy. I'm sure it was exciting. I'm sure you'll see more of that in the coming days.

Congratulations!!!! You have done very well, I am still working on getting my first payment after 56 Hubs, 196 followers and 17 months in Hubpages (although really 8 months of being actually involved in commenting and following other authors and doing SEO and keyword research).

You have done very well! Thanks for the honest sharing of your HP earnings. Voted up, useful and interesting.

The time you are able to post one hub a day did it for you! Congratulations, I hope I can master enough energy to obtain the same results as you did in a single month. Like in the month of March and April.

@ jpcmc: Yes! It was exciting :) And I probably be having my 2nd one in three months since earnings slowed down for me.

@ Claudia: Thank you! :) And hope you get yours too. But I have to put a lot of work as well. It slowed down for me last month and this month.

@Modern Lady: Thank you! I feel better with your comment as I thought 3 months was already a long waiting for a 1st payment ^-^'

@ onlinecashdigest: Lol. Those where the months I was able to fight off my laziness to post. And it sure did paid off! :)

Congratulations for the ad program adsense payout you've received thus far. Keep up writing and posting original pieces for additional trickle of on-line money. Mabuhay!

Thank you! (Salamat) ^-^' Working on my second one as I haven't been that active this past few months! But still, receiving the first payment was inspiring. :)

Congrats, Precy! I can't get the payments of HP Ad Program due to some issues on my PayPal account.

Maybe you can please suggest some tips on how to remove it.

Thank you in advance.

Thanks travel_man! :) Sorry to hear about that. What seems to be the trouble with your account on Paypal? And yes, maybe I, or some hubbers can suggest something about the problem. :)

I'm here again, Precy. I did an error when I tried a transaction, but that was years ago. A already emailed the PayPal staff regarding my issue but to no avail. :(

Maybe be more persistent emailing them? So far I hadn't got any problem with Paypal since I made an account. Or maybe try call them if they wouldn't help within the email, but if you were in the Philippines, making that call would cost you huh?! Anyway kuya, have you tried and make another Paypal account? I did some search just now to try and see if more than one account is allowed and so far I came across Paypal Help Center stating that having multiple account is allowed with the combinations of: having one personal and 1 premier, 1 personal and 1 business, and 1 premier and 1 business account. But in case you wanted to make another account, you have to use another email address and another bank account to link with it.
